That LOINC code is not mapped on our side for public Sandbox.

For Systolic Blood Pressure please use either of the following:

Systolic Blood Pressure Sitting 8459-0

Systolic Blood Pressure Standing 8460-8

Systolic Blood Pressure Supine 8461-6

Thanks,

Hello,

Following up on this.
I have rerun the create request with no changes to the payload.

Still not a successful response code.

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks,

Isaac
